Grendel...
This has been very helpful.
I would like to know about the seams and pins...
What are the goals of good seam placement?
  • (I'm guessing here) - that you want the seams to be in places easy to hide?
  • If I have more seams, would there be less overlapping of faces?
  • Would disecting a doll be of any help in deciding what would be good seam placement?
Some models that I have tried to do - following your little martian head tutorial - may be too complicated, they have a lot of overlapping, to the point of being impossible to unravel... I need to understand how to avoid this.

What are the basics in this process?

Thanks.
